This invention relates to certain.improvvments in the combination. supply und waste apparatus disclosed in my prior pmrnt 4682,453, dated September 1H), 1901, nml

whinh is especially 4iil-rlaptfd for una in rosi-Y donnes where self closing fnucetn uw noi clesirod.. In public lmililings, however, solfrlosing l'nuoo' are usunllj," required, and while; I have attempted io make tho 'valve Vppnrnmls shown in this patent self closing hy the application of springs, l han bron unable to (lo so in'nprzict'ioal nimmer.

Thr primary objvct of my invent-ion is in procludu an apparatus similar to that clisolomful ,in said prior pnton'h in whioh tlm will :fr supply' vnlvo; nlmiliio soll,'closingVv sind which crimini. he hold pan by the insertion of.' n plug; or ollwr l'iolfling' Ll-''iooi A i'uriiws' olnjrrr o1" my iirsfrobi'rfi is to Limplifj :said prior apparatus So that ii may ou easily inshilloil, and that tho vso of szluiiing hoxris mary he a'vfiiilri'l and thi?. oost of nimmfncture o'f tlm ,iring may he .n'interially re ilucoil.

Another object ofmy invention is 'to proilnoo im apparatus of tho aiovo dosorilnafl character w iioh if.'` of Nightly appearancfi and easy of operation. I

As shown in Fig. l ol' the drawing, the Imiin rz provii'led with the usual Waste vali/r b, sind valvn being connected 11o the vrriionlly movable. operating rod c which ox- 'Lvnsls u through the watersuigpl tting, as herninallxor more fully descri e said rod having; an operating handle c secured to its upper rml und said waste valve being adoptfil to lm closed and o @ned u on the lifting und lowering of sai( rod, t l connect-ing mechanism tlnirebehveen being of n.

The lower'end or bottaoxnof the casing e and the uprend or topoi". the casing d., m'oipslictive which i are in central alinemenb with t Q y provided with openi chambers tlwmin, the opening in 'the casing f; brin? provided with a. surrounding boss i, l A1e bore 'of which a caismg tubo j ifi tightly screwed, soivtlmt orig-1d, Water-tight intov l connor-tion `is pro ded Between the lower 0nd of'isui d tube and 'ghe canin e. Said lube j exil-nds upwardly througi Suid uniting cl'muilum-.find` is tightlyL connecteil by a driv ving fil. to thzyupper end of casing d in the bore direction. A fing in the upper end thereof.

partition wall cl which extends forwardly into the discharge spout d, so that an open connection is )rovidcd between the ace above said wa and the s iout, said tu )e 7' passing through paid wall d and bein tightly lttcd therni, lot in case there shoul( be any leakage t iroui this jiint into the space between said wa and the Casin r such leakage would be iriarried olf through the spout, so that there would be no danger of leaka e through the joint between theI upper end o the body and said tube j.

A tubular valve stein lc is fitted within the tube j, a second tubular valve stein m is' fitted within the tube k, and the waste operating rod c is fitted within the tube m, said tubular stems k and m and-said rod c all being adapted to slide freely, vertically, with relation to each other. The lower end of the outer valve steinkextcnds a short distance below the end of the boss e and a bracket n, having a semi-cylindrical"recess therein; is litted and ri 'dly connected to said stein r: b screws n or any other suitable means. Tie boss es is provided with a seini-eylindrieal extension e* against the edges of which the side 'e es of tliebracket ii bears, so that said stem.- is held from rotation in either er n on the bracket n -is adapted to bear ontheoiiter end of the valve operatinglever h", as shown, so that when said starqk is moved downwardly saidvalve will be opened. The st'em m extends a short distance below the lower end of stein and a bracket o is fitted onto the lower end t ereof and islield-thereon b a screw o. A proer o on'said racket o, is adapted u on Adownward movenie t of the stein m t c valve :i will be opened. l A

A pair of operating handles p and q, which may be res ctively marked to indicate the hot and co1 water supply, are provided, said handles having semi-cylindrical 'body portions p "Q, respectively, which are adapted to` be fitted to ther to make a complete cylinder, the a, utting edges tliercofbeing vertical. The lower end ortion of the body` p' is provided with a projecting riiigportion p, having a bore in `which the upper end of the outer stein k is fitted and to which it is rigidly and' permanently connected-by suit-- able means, .and the upper end'of the body portion q. is rprovidedwith a similar projecting ring portion. q", in'. 'ich the upper end of the stem m is likewise litted and permanently connected.' 'lhc interiihl diameter of eac bod)r portion p', qland th'c external diameter of each ringlpertion ,g", is the saine, so that when said liaiidllis are litted together as shown in Figs. 3', .4 and 5, they may slide vertically with, relationV to eachother, each ring portion pifq, enteriniand sliding withl I 'llit` u per pori in thc` opljosite body portion tion of casing d is preferably provi ed with a l tively. ieee E', fi respecpaits are thus eli together practu nllly as one piece and cannot turn one with relation to the otherLas their adjacent edges engage, and, as the tube 7c is heli from turning by the boss e, the stein m is thus held from turning thereby. The thickness of each irojccting rin r portion p, qi, is approximately one-third t ie length ofthe body portions p', q', so that a space also approxi mately one-third of said length is provided between said projections. The distance from the lower ends of said body'portiens to the upper end of casiii d is also approximately one-third of sai( length. lf, thoreiore, it is desired to open the valve i., the handle q is pressed downwardly until the lower und of its body portion q' engages casing d, and the projection q'e touches or nearly .touches the projection p", moving finger o' and the operating levers of said valve to the dotted position of Fig. 4, in which position the valve is fulh open. When the handle is released the valve 'spring will automatically close the valve and return the parts to the full line position. As thc projecting ring,r portion q is inclosed by the iody portion p in all positions of the foi-nier 'noopen spaces are provided into which an inst uuient might be inserted, so as to bold the klve 'i o ien. If it is desired to open the v lve h, tio handle p will be resscd downwardlyA and this valve will also e fully opened when the handle is moved to the-position shown in Fig. 3, in which position the lower end of body portion p will engage easing d, while its upper end will still extend slightly above the lower side of the ring portion q', and the upper side of the ring portion p2 will still extend slightl above the lower end of thc body g', so thatt iere will be no opportunity to insert an instrument between said ring and body portion to hold the valve h open. 0bviously both handles p and Vmay )c pre'ssed downwardly simultaneous y, so that the niixed hot and cold water will be delivered through the discharge spout d". As devices of this character must usually be installed by. a plumber who is somewhat unfamiliarwit i VVthe apparatus, it is necessary to have fittings of this sort assembled beforehand, as fai' as possible, so that the final installation will be sini liied and thefliability of mistakes being ma( c reduced to a minimum. The connec tion, therefore, between the tube y' andthe casing c is vpracticallymade apernianent connection, and is iliade previous to installation. The connection between the upper end of said tube j and the casing' d must, therefore, be made after said casing l has been inserted in the slab while'a reasonably tight tted joint is all that is necessary,A at this point, yet I prefer to have it a driving lit so that the arts will be securely assembled and there wi l heno leakage even if a shwer llill lll'i hose is attached t convenient method `ol forcing of tube j into the pening ther per end of casing 4lo been Inserted.
